Chapter 754: Dreamed Of The Phoenix Girl

The carved sphinx motif on the stone door gave out a rather scary yet gloomy feeling to others.

As the people from the Ni family intended to walk slowly toward the door, a weird howling sound of the wind came out of nowhere.

Someone shouted right after that, “Guys, look!”

Helian Wei Wei directed her gaze toward the place where the person was pointing to.

At dusk, she saw the originally empty tomb entrance suddenly popped out a river that flowed through both sides of the graveyard and was flowing deep down the hill. The water looked clean and there were aquatic weeds growing in it, making the river seem quite harmless.

The only thing Helian Wei Wei felt strange was that there was not a single fish in the river.

The most bizarre thing was that there was nothing alive in the water beside the aquatic weeds, not to say a single fish. Moreover, those aquatic weeds grew in the shadows and floated on the river surface, appearing like the hair of women who were drowned from afar…

Moreover, all of them had kept an eye on the tomb entrance and there was originally no river here. Why would a river suddenly appear just as they wanted to enter the graveyard?

Was it an early warning to them?

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her eyebrows with her eyes staring meticulously at the river to observe the changes in the river.

The other exorcists had never faced a situation like this. They looked at each other and gripped the mahogany swords tightly in their hands.

Ni Biao felt excited as he looked at the river in front of him and spoke in high spirits, “There is a saying that when the sun goes down, a Yin River will appear near the royal tomb. I was not lucky enough in the past to see it, but now that I get to witness it in person, it’s miraculous that a river can connect the World of Yin and Yang!”

The exorcists were amazed upon hearing Yin River as the Art of Exorcism manual once recorded about ‘Yin River’.

Rumor had it that this flowing river could not be seen during the day, and only appeared under the moonlight.

It was said that one could find the answer of eternity by crossing over the river that connected the World of Yin and Yang as crossing over the river also meant traveling through life and death.

That was why the eyes of the exorcists were sparkling at the moment and they insisted on wading through the water without bothering about the warning.

However, the people that came with Helian Wei Wei were all steady and did not hurry to go forward.

At this moment, the old man looked at the surface of the river and started to shudder with fear. “Don’t go there!”

“Why?” Some of the exorcists turned around and asked.

The old man pointed at the other side of the upstream with his trembling finger.

The exorcists then found out a coffin was positioned vertically there!

A coffin placed in water would easily cause great evil omen in Feng Shui!

Not to mention that it appeared in the Yin River.

The old tomb raider seemed to be very afraid of that coffin; he spoke plausible and volubly, “I saw it before, it already appeared back then, let’s not open that tomb!”

“I thought you have never been to a royal tomb before. How is it possible that you have seen the coffin here previously?” Ni Hu did not take his words seriously because, in his opinion, this old tomb raider was hired just in case something happened. Who would have thought that he was a busybody and always wanted to intercept them? Why doesn’t he go and ask others about the ability of the Ni family before trying to lie to him?

The old tomb raider knew Ni Hu did not believe in him, so he started to share about his past experience.

He had indeed seen this coffin before.

Back then, there was a village located halfway up the mountain.

At that time, a rich state councilor came to their village for the purpose of getting into the royal tomb.

There was not a single villager who was courageous enough to go with him, so the state councilor hung around at the mountainside every day.

He remembered clearly that one night, a coffin that came out of nowhere floated on the river. They thought that probably the research team of the state councilor had disrupted something in the tomb during that time.

The state councilor insisted to take out the coffin from the river despite being obstructed by the villagers and refused to listen to the old man’s advice.

Getting the coffin out of the river in the day should be able to avoid some risks.

However, countless of vampire bats rushed out from the forest the exact moment when the coffin was out from the river.

Those flying bats seemed to warn them not to get any further!

Those from the same field knew that it was a bad omen if something weird happened during the day of opening a coffin!

Despite the fact that they might face dangers, the greedy state councilor did not listen to others and stated that they could find the immortal treasures in this tomb if they could lift up the coffin and find a way in.

That was why even if he knew there were risks for opening the coffin, he still ordered his men to continue the process on the spot!

When the old man realized that he could not stop the process, he told the state councilor that they must use a Dog Blood Red Rope to leave an imprint on the ancient coffin immediately after it was transported out of the canal!

He thought that at least the dangers could be lessened by doing this.

However, a rainstorm suddenly poured down in the forest before the coffin was successfully transported out from the river.

Along with the increasingly chirps of the nightingale in the forest, a scary atmosphere was formed…

The state councilor had no choice but to stop his project because a coffin which weighed a hundred grams was impossible to be pulled out from the river under that bad weather.

At first, the old man felt relieved secretly.

However, out of his expectation, on the next day, all of them who were involved in getting the ancient coffin out of the river was dead one by one.

Those who had poor destiny in life died that night while those who had good destiny in life were alive until the sunrise of the next day.

The death of the state councilor was even fishier, first, he got extremely hungry and kept on eating relentlessly. Regardless of what he ate, it was tasteless. After that, he did not eat anymore, he told his men that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

After the sunrise, no one came to open the door even though his wife knocked on his door many times, so she ordered the servants to break into the room through the window. It was during the time that the state councilor was found dead. He was sprawling on the ground with his face facing downward in a weird position. There were no wounds found on his body. It was just that his expression was twisted in an indescribable way as if he saw something that was extremely terrifying.

Nobody knew what he saw, the thing that left them restless was that his whole body was drenched as if he had been immersed in the river before.

In fact, the state councilor’s wife said that he did not leave his room at all throughout the night.

So how did the river water get to his body?

No one dared to give assumptions and no one ever dared to go near the coffin again.

However, this did not prevent the advent of disasters.

The villagers started to get unaccountable sickness and the children started to sob without restraint during the night.

Moreover, those who had seen the opening of the coffin would have nightmares at night even if they moved out of the village.

At that time, the old man thought that he was going to die for sure too until he had a dream…

A convincing woman with elegant and noble behavior appeared in his dream, with dazzling shine, her body seemed to be surrounded by gradual flowing Light of Buddha. The faint smell of sandalwood spread out from her body. She looked just like a vaguely shown Phoenix, making others cannot help but feel reassured when they saw it…
